Road accidents are common in the war-ravaged country due to poor road construction, badly maintained vehicles, routine disregard of traffic laws, and lack of proper driving skills.

In a separate development on Sunday, at least four al-Shebab militants were killed after they detonated a car bomb while attempting to storm a military intelligence complex in the Somali capital of Mogadishu.

Somalia has been the scene of fierce fighting between Shebab militants and government forces since 2006.

The militants have been pushed out of Mogadishu and other major cities by government soldiers and the African Union Mission to Somalia.

The militants have, however, continued to launch terrorist attacks in Mogadishu despite being ousted from their bases in the seaside city in 2011.
